    “Look at all that renewable green solar generation! Sure doesn’t work so well when it’s buried under a mudslide lol”

    That’s what you sound like

      The thing is that this is a really desperate measure. The danube is one of Europes biggest rivers. That nuclear power plant was build with water inlets. That plant has been there for ages as every nuclear plant in Europe is old as fuck. That rock has been there also a long time. Having to blast it to help a little bit in order to save the reactor producing so much energy that the other plants in the country can’t take over, is desperate as fuck

        Yeah, they’re responding to a (not-so-) natural disaster. Of course infrastructure built half a century ago under wildly different conditions is at risk.

      Even if solar panels get buried under a mudslide, you can just build new solar panels very quickly. If that would happen to a nuclear plant, you would need to wait 10+years for a new one.

      Yeah, right. Those totally predictable mud slides that happen every summer and are expected to increase in frequency and duration with climate change… 🤣
